In 2008, 16-year-old pageant queen Alicia Guastaferro learned the valuable lesson that, when you become a "break-out star" on a reality televsion show, 9 times out of 10 it is because everyone hates you.

Guastaferro, now 20, was arrested early Tuesday morning at a rest stop off the New York State Thruway for prostitution. According to police, she was very forthcoming with all kinds of details about her fabulous prostitute life.

Alicia appeared in one episode of ABC's horrible-but-so-conducive-to-marathons program, Wife Swap, and countless YouTube clips thereafter.

While statements like "I do feel sorry for people that are not gorgeous people" would have been enough to earn her glares and eyerolls from the gorgeous and non-gorgeous alike, the detail that catapulted her to infamy was the revelation that her parents kept a Christmas tree up year round and rewarded Alicia for her sheer Alicia-ness with a present every day.
